Pool equipment installation for new pumps, heaters, filters and lights, sized for your pool and put in right.
New pool equipment usually comes up at the worst time. The pump finally quits for good, or the heater won’t fire in January. Or you notice the old single-speed pump is running up your power bill every month. Here in Central Florida, equipment runs year-round, so upgrades pay off faster than they would up north.
Sunwave Pool Pros puts in new pool equipment on inground pools all over the area. We size each piece to your pool, plumb and wire it right and make sure everything runs together. We install Hayward, Pentair, Jandy and Zodiac equipment, and it’s all part of our full pool service in Central Florida.
Our pool equipment installation covers four areas. Pick the one you need, or let us look over the whole pad.
An old or undersized filter can’t keep up with Florida pollen, sand and storm debris. We install cartridge, sand and DE filters and match each one to your pool and pump. That way the water stays clear without the pump fighting the filter.
A heater turns a chilly January pool into one you actually want to get in. We install gas heaters, electric heaters and heat pumps. Before we recommend one, we look at your pool size and how you swim, so you’re not paying to heat water you don’t need warm.
A new pump is often the best upgrade you can make down here, since it runs every single day. We install standard and variable-speed pumps and set up the plumbing, wiring and speed settings the right way. Variable-speed models cost more up front, but they run quieter and use a lot less power.
Good lighting makes night swims safer and the whole backyard look better. We install LED and color-changing pool lights and swap out old ones, too. LEDs use less power and last a lot longer than the old incandescent bulbs.
We work on pool equipment across Seminole and Orange counties every week, so we know what holds up in this heat and what doesn’t. We’ll tell you straight whether a part needs replacing or just a repair, and we won’t upsell you on gear your pool doesn’t need. When energy use matters, we’ll point you to efficient options. ENERGY STAR says certified in-ground pool pumps use 20% less energy than standard ones.
Clean, reliable installs are the goal every time, and you’ll always get a straight answer. Not sure we come out your way? Check our service area.

The cost to replace all pool equipment depends on what's on your pad and what you choose to replace it with. A pump and filter swap is a much smaller job than a full pad with a new heater and lights. Variable-speed pumps and heat pumps cost more up front but less to run. We quote the whole pad after we see it, so call (689) 312-9063.
Usually, you can't write off a pool on your taxes. A pool at your home is a personal expense, so most people get no deduction for it. The IRS does let you count some home improvements as a medical expense when their main purpose is medical care, minus any value they add to your home. IRS Publication 502 explains the rule. If a doctor has prescribed pool therapy, ask a tax pro whether your setup could qualify.
An inground pool needs a pump to move the water and a filter to clean it. It also needs a way to keep it sanitized, like a chlorine feeder or a salt system. Most Florida pools also have a skimmer, a main drain, returns, a pool light and a timer to run it all. A heater is optional down here, but plenty of folks want one for the winter months.
The top pool equipment brands are Hayward, Pentair and Jandy, and you'll see all three on equipment pads all over Central Florida. Each one makes pumps, filters, heaters, lights and automation. Each also has models that are a great fit and models that aren't. We install Hayward, Pentair, Jandy and Zodiac equipment and can tell you which one fits your pool and budget.
Moving pool equipment costs more than a straight swap, because it means new plumbing runs, new wiring and often a new pad. The farther you move it from the pool, the more pipe the pump has to push water through. Sometimes that means a bigger pump, too. We'll look at the spot you have in mind and quote it before anything moves.
Yes, energy-efficient pool equipment is worth it for most Florida pools. ENERGY STAR says certified in-ground pool pumps use 20% less energy than standard ones and usually pay for themselves in under two years. Variable-speed pumps also run quieter and last longer. LED pool lights and heat pumps usually cut running costs, too, which adds up fast when your pump runs all year.
No, you don't need to replace the pool equipment right away just because you bought a house with a pool. Have it checked first. A good tech can tell you how old each piece is, what's working, what's leaking and what's about to go. Then you can replace things as they fail, or plan an upgrade if the pump is an old single-speed. Lots of Central Florida homes sell with older gear still running, so it pays to know what you've got.
We size new pool equipment to your pool, not the other way around. Your pump has to turn over the water often enough to keep it clean without pushing more flow than the filter and plumbing can handle. We match the filter to the pump's flow. For heaters, it comes down to your pool's surface area and how warm you like it. Bigger isn't always better, so we measure before we recommend anything.
Installing new pool equipment can take a few hours or a few days, depending on the part and whether it's in stock. A straight swap of a pump, filter or light usually takes a few hours once the part is here. A new heater, or a whole pad with new plumbing and wiring, takes longer. Gas and electrical work may also need a permit and inspection first. Call us, and we'll give you a real timeline.
Yes, where you buy pool equipment can change your warranty. Hayward, for example, sells some products online with a one-year, parts-only warranty, while its dealer-only line comes with added labor coverage. Pentair and Jandy have their own rules, too. So before you order online, read the warranty terms and ask whether the price still makes sense once you add installation.
